Saratoga DVRC recruiting hotline volunteers

Domestic Violence and Rape Crisis Services of Saratoga County (DVRC) has scheduled training for prospective new hotline volunteers. No experience is necessary. Volunteers work from home; several shifts are available. All training, materials, and full time staff support is provided.

Upcoming volunteer training will be conducted from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on both Saturday April 21 and Saturday April 28 at 480 Broadway in Saratoga Springs. For information call 518-583-0280.

DVRC is looking for caring people with good listening skills who are able to commit some of their time to make a real difference in someone’s life. This is an opportunity for volunteers to ‘give back’ to the Saratoga County community while gaining an interesting and rewarding experience in victim services.

Now in its 30th year, DVRC provides crisis intervention via emergency hotline and shelter, counseling, legal advocacy, comprehensive case management, support groups and specialized youth services to over a thousand victims of domestic violence and sexual assault each year. All services are confidential, non-judgmental, and free of charge. Contact the 24-hour hotline at 518-584-8188 for assistance.
